    Why do most people hate TouchWiz?

    Again, you claim to speak on behalf of the broader consumer base as though you know. Where do you get that people who buy the note don't care about the stylus? A gut feeling? They gave the Note screen attention when they introduced the multi-window function first to it. Its just as...

    Why do most people hate TouchWiz?

    Again, this goes back to the broader user base vs a few select people. How much is your opinion represented? I'm sure Samsung investigate use and make changes where its wanted by the broader consumer base. Anyone who has a particular need in this case, will just tweak their device...

    Why do most people hate TouchWiz?

    I think the point has been well made: as a comparison, although across the globe, Windows is likely to be present on very old and spec defiant hardware, as a consequnce of this it may be true that globally, people's experience of Windows is poor. This has no bearing on the actual Windows...

    Why do most people hate TouchWiz?

    I think you hit it on the head there. Touchwiz is not hated by the majority, but most likely 'loved' by the millions of Samsung users across the world. I'd say that that the Touchwiz skin is perceived as 'Android' by many and those same people would be surprised a the bare bones Nexus...

    They are some touchwiz based roms that allow you to set the screen size and the 4 x4 layout. Check out the XDA forums

    SD Cards failing in Galaxy S3: Samsung's insane response.

    Its usually down to the quality of the SD card. Buying cheap ones off Ebay and the like will create problems down the line. I've always gone for the Class 10 Sandisk ones with the grey and red colours. They never have yet let me down

    Are You Going To Use Touchwiz?

    I really don't see the problem with Touchwiz; it has all the bells and whistles and yes perhaps it does bog down the hardware a little, but when installing a rom I always chose a Touchwiz based rom rather than not simply because of the features that it brings to the table. Stock Android is...

    Is Samsung concerned about build quality?

    Samsung phones are not known for poor build quality. Choice of build materials is something else. This relatively recent and faddish issue surrounding aluminium in my view is a symptom of android as a platforms success and also samsungs success. I can't recall an issue concerning build quality...

    First night impressions.

    Good honest review. Sounds like a great phone but not a phone that meets every expectation. I hope more user reviews like yours come out with a balanced non fanboy analysis that accepts the good points with the bad. I think sense is a matter of taste and preference. The build materials and...

    Review of the Samsung Galaxy Mega

    When i first heard of this device i thought it was a joke. But i can see the attraction for some. Im also sort of glad that this comes out which puts the note 2 in perspective I can see this taking off though. In the coming months i think ill see a few of these on the trains in rushour instead...
